Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004035271
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method for automatically cutting a workpiece comprising the steps of moving a workpiece (104) along its longitudinal axis, positioning a cutting blade (202) by rotating the blade about a vertical axis, positioning the cutting blade by rotating about a bevel axis, and moving the blade into cutting contact with the workpiece, thereby cutting the workpiece at a compound angle. The method may also comprises positioning the blade along a transverse axis. Further steps may include moving the cutting blade along a transverse axis simultaneous to moving the workpiece along its longitudinal axis, thereby creating a scarf cut; sorting a finished workpiece; and marking the workpieces.
